When a man keeps you half chosen and half confused, the real problem isn’t his hesitation but the part of you willing to wait for it!

Ever been strung along by a man who gives just enough to keep you hopeful but never enough to give you certainty? One day he’s all charm and chemistry, the next he’s conveniently unavailable? You start analyzing his behavior like a crime scene. Does he have trauma? Is it timing? Is it me? Hilary calls BS!

In this episode, Hilary dismantles the obsession with figuring him out and asks a better question: Why are you waiting for someone who won’t choose you fully? Mixed signals are signals. If it only feels good when he’s present but wrecks your peace when he’s gone, that’s not romance — that’s chaos dressed as potential. And if you’re tolerating crumbs, playing it cool, or bending your boundaries just to keep him around, you’re accidentally auditioning for the role of “almost enough.”

Hilary’s message is blunt but liberating: stop chasing clarity from him and start demanding consistency for yourself. You don’t need closure, you need standards. So ask yourself, are you in a relationship or just holding space for someone who hasn’t decided? And if you stopped waiting on his decision, what would yours be?

Episode Highlights:

Why “understanding him” is just a distraction from reclaiming your own power

What mixed signals in dating are actually telling you
